Set in a vivid sci-fi universe, Assault Android Cactus charges players with investigating a distress beacon emitted by a ship lost in deep space. The game uses changing environments, battery management concerns and constant waves of enemies to increase tension.

The game features nine playable androids, up to four player co-op and leaderboards as the team at Witch Beam attempt to create a classic shooter.

"We’ve been inspired by so many shooters over the years, from Robotron to Ikaruga and Resogun, and hope Assault Android Cactus will be as fondly remembered as those classics." said the game's director, Sanatana Mishra.

It is available right now on Steam for $15 USD on Windows, Mac and Linux. It will head to PS4, Wii U, and PlayStation Vita in Q1 2016, though no firm date has been offered.
